CUDDLY BUDDIES are certified organic Bamboo fabric on one side (the cream coloured side), and either printed fluffy Minky or cotton flannel fabric on the other.
Angel Mel Collections is an exclusive line of organic products brought to you by Baby-Mel.com. All their products were designed with love and attention to detail. Previously, I had reviewed their Organic Baby Bamboo Wipes too. In conjunction with the launch of their new products, and also for the Parenthood Expo in Mid Valley, I will review several products from their new range. Stay tuned for more.
This time around, I’m reviewing Cuddly Buddies. Isn’t that such a cute name? 
WHAT ARE CUDDLY BUDDIES??
- Cuddly Buddies are marketed as a multi-purpose baby product: as an over the shoulder cuddly Burp Towel, and also as a lovely Baby Bib (it has snaps at the back to attach around baby’s neck).
- It is made of 1 layer super-soft Certified Organic bamboo velour on one side, and either fluffy Minky fabric OR 100% cotton flannel fabric on the other: Minky & Bamboo or Flannel & Bamboo combo.
- Both the Minky and cotton flannel fabrics have fun and cheerful prints on them to choose from (the cotton flannel fabrics are imported designer prints).
- Handmade and Made in Malaysia. (In support of local products
)
I received one Angel Mel Collections Cuddly Buddies (Minky & Bamboo) for reviewing.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
- Who isn’t a fan of Minky fabric right? Just like how I love Minky cloth diapers, I will love other Minky fabric baby products too. This product is just divine because it offers a really pretty Minky fabric print too!
- It’s pretty wide in length, and because of this I figured it can be used for many other purposes too.
HOW I USED THEM:
As mentioned above, I have managed to discover many ways to use Cuddly Buddies for my baby! Below are some pictures of Cuddly Buddies in action:
This was Cuddly Buddies’ first intended purpose: As a luxuriously fluffy Burp Towel. Especially handy if other people wants to cuddle with your baby, but you’re unsure about the “cleanliness” of their clothings – lay the Cuddly Buddies on them first before passing your baby to them! Problem solved
Second intended purpose: Attach the Cuddly Buddies around baby’s neck with the snaps and it becomes a funky Baby Bib. I just love that it’s large enough for this purpose (good for messy meals), and my baby looks like he’s wearing a really cool bolero outfit doesn’t he?
Creative purpose #3: A stroller head liner. I created a comfy head cocoon for my baby using it. Since it’s super soft to lay on, he looks so comfy during his stroller naps!
Creative purpose #4: Since I babywear my baby, and he LOVES to bite/nibble on the baby carrier (however much I tried to stop him), I used Cuddly Buddies to line the front side of my SSC (soft structured carrier). He can nibble on it all he wants now because I know it’s clean!
Creative purpose #5: Again as a babywearing accessory, I used it on my chest so he can lay on it instead of my (sometimes) sweaty/stinky body :p
And for Purpose #6: As a “smelly blanket“ to roll around, cuddle, play, nibble, chew on or play peek-a-boo with! He really loves the colourful patterns on them.
Purpose #7: I also managed to use Cuddly Buddies as an emergency lay-on mat, just lay his head on any unfamiliar or not-so-hygienic-surface, and you’ve got your a clean and comfy enough place to lie on. (Sorry, didn’t manage to take a picture of this)
WHAT I LIKE:
- As you can very well observe from the pictures, I love Cuddly Buddies because it’s so useful in many ways! Can anyone help me add in other uses for it too?
- I absolutely love the Minky and Bamboo fabric combination – super soft on BOTH sides!
- Adore the print of this one very much, and I bet there are other drool-worthy choices too.
TO BE CONSIDERED…
- Due to the premium materials used (Certified organic bamboo, designer prints), the price for Cuddly Buddies, especially for the Minky & Bamboo fabric combo can be quite high for some parents.
Cuddly Buddies is available from the Baby, Mom & Organic products online store Baby-Mel.com. It can also be obtained with 15% introductory discount from their booth at the 6th Parenthood Expo, from 20-22 August 2010 happening at Midvalley!
